Lois Ehlert
Harcourt Children's Books, 2005
Simple text enhanced with a big dose of creativity!
My husband bought this for our two-year old, and we love reading it together with her. The text is simple, as it traces the journey of Leaf Man...the leaves used are magnificent in their colors...some bold, some subdued, but all unique and beautiful. I have since done ...

How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?
Margaret Mcnamara
Schwartz & Wade, 2007
Nice teaching compliment to counting pumpkin seeds
This book was a wonderful accompaniment to counting pumpkin seeds in our first grade classroom. It would be appropriate for any of the lower grades. I read the first part before the children dug seeds out of pumpkins and counted them and allowed them to come up with ...

Zondervan, 2002
The NIV is not a Bible just for dummies
The New International Version is the most readable English translation ever produced. And if that doesn't make it a "Good Book," then I don't know what does!
Granted, I still prefer to read God's Word in the original tongues, not in a modern translation. (I've got ...

The Art of Speed Reading People: How to Size People Up and Speak Their Language
Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron-Tieger
Little, Brown and Company, 1999
It works.
These authors really know their stuff. This book provides amazingly accurate insights to the human mind~ why people act the way they do. Of course, it's not 100% accurate because no two people are exactly alike. So while they generalize a lot, it's nearly always ...

Black on White
Greenwillow, 1993
Classic book for new babies
Newborn babies' vision is not highly developed. High-contrast patterns or pictures are easiest for them to see in the first few months of life. Tana Hoban's black & white board books are terrific choices. With simple illustrations of objects that will be familiar to ...

Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
HarperCollins, 2008
It's ok...
I was so excited when this book arrived. Let me first say, the illustrations are very cute and sweet. But as my husband and I read the book, our little one had no interest past the pictures. It's not little stories or thoughts of Christmas, it's like a very nice ...

The illustrations are wonderfully simple, and I really like how there are few words per page. This book ...
